Been 'calm' for a couple of days now. Still waiting on a few things so can't seal the deck on yet, but lots of other things to do. Started on the pilot house. Problems, nothing fits exactly. Been 'jigg-sawing' the parts trying to get things together right, not much luck. So, went back and read the manual (first time for the pilot house other than collecting the right parts). Ever heard 'R.T.F.M.'? Read The Furnished Manual (other words sometimes applied instead of 'Furnished')? Hmm, says to do just what I've been doing, make adjustments till things fit. Sure could have saved a lot of anxiety if I'd read the thing first, oh well. Also, I'd done some painting inside the pilot house cuz I didn't want to have to do it through the windows. Going to have to do some re-painting, didn't think far enough ahead to know where things would fit inside there. Through the @#$ windows too. In years to come, this will be the 'fun' part (uh-huh, but not now). Also finding out that you don't/can't spray paint a finished structure without a ton of masking tape. Looking for same color of paint in bottles instead of spray cans is very frustrating. Don't think anyone can afford ~that~ much masking tape. I just LOVE this stuff, don't you!? Seems like if I don't run into enough problems, I make my own. Got to be 'meaning' in that somewhere...
Oh well.

PS - Not as much sarcasm in that last part as you might think. Odd, huh?
